A luminescent patient connector connectable to a device that acquires physiologic signals comprises a leadwire and a luminescent casing. The leadwire has a first end connectable to an electrode and a second end having a device connector configured to connect to an acquisition device for acquiring a patient physiological signal. The luminescent casing is around at least a portion of the leadwire and is configured to receive light input and permit the transmission of light across the length of the leadwire to illuminate at least the first end of the leadwire.
